OPERATION
Test Run
Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test
run the machine.
1. Verify that the arbor is installed correctly and is secure.
2. Verify that if a bit is installed, it is tight and secure.
3. Verify that the spindle is not in contact with any tools or material.
4. Connect the drill press to the power supply.
5. Flip the START button up to the on position. Make sure that your finger is poised on the
paddle switch, just in case there is a problem. The drill press should run smoothly, with little
or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and
corrected before operating the machine further.
Drill Bit Changes
Make sure to secure the bit firmly in place. When changing bits, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the machine from power source.
2. Open the chuck wide enough to accept a new bit.
3. Install the bit so the chuck jaws will grab as much of the bit shank as it can. Do not allow the
chuck to grab the fluted body of the drill bit. Make sure small drill bits do not get trapped
between the edges of two jaws.
4. Tighten the chuck with the chuck key using any of the three key end locations.
5. Remove the chuck key and reconnect power source.
6. Reverse steps to remove drill bit.
CAUTION:
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
When handling large heavy material make sure they are properly supported.
